6 pthread_setschedprio - set scheduling priority of a thread
7
9 #include <pthread.h>
10
11 pthread_setschedprio(pthread_t thread, int prio);
12
13 Compile and link with -pthread.
14
16 The pthread_setschedprio() function sets the scheduling priority of the
17 thread thread to the value specified in prio. (By contrast
18 pthread_setschedparam(3) changes both the scheduling policy and prior‐
19 ity of a thread.)
20
22 On success, this function returns 0; on error, it returns a non-zero
23 error number. If pthread_setschedprio() fails, the scheduling priority
24 of thread is not changed.
25
27 EINVAL prio is not valid for the scheduling policy of the specified
28 thread.
29
30 EPERM The caller does not have appropriate privileges to set the spec‐
31 ified priority.
32
33 ESRCH No thread with the ID thread could be found.
34
35 POSIX.1-2001 also documents an ENOTSUP ("attempt was made to set the
36 priority to an unsupported value") error for pthread_setschedparam().
37
39 This function is available in glibc since version 2.3.4.
40
42 POSIX.1-2001.

46 changing a thread's scheduling priority, and details of the permitted
47 ranges for priorities in each scheduling policy, see sched_setsched‐
